Hybrid Solar Chimney with Salt Water Desalination and Power Generation

Abstract

In order to generate both electricity and fresh water, this study introduces a brand-new solar chimney power system that incorporates sea water desalination. Using the sun's power to generate electricity is a new technology called solar technology.
Turbine, longer-height vertical chimney, and solar radiation-absorbing glass roof collectors make up the system's three basic components, all of which are simple and straightforward to implement. This technology has the potential to provide electricity
twenty-four hours a day, a year, even in a country like India, where the sun shines nearly nine months out of the year in the majority of the country. Solar chimneys and Humidification–Dehumidification desalination processes are combined in a unique way. Water drops are injected into the air stream to humidify it in this system. Later, a small amount of water vapour in the air condenses on the cold water tube's outer surface. The rise in water production would lead to a drop in electricity output, according to the results. Additionally, the number of dehumidifier tubes should be increased in order to generate more fresh water.
